Stance Conditionals in WoW Macros

In World of Warcraft, the [stance] conditional (also known as [form]) allows macros to execute different actions depending on your current stance, shapeshift, or form.

/cast [stance:#] Spell1; [stance:#] Spell2; DefaultSpell

stance:# or form:# checks if you are in a specific stance/form.
You can use multiple stance conditionals to cast different abilities.
The macro falls back to the default action if no stance is active.

Example:

/cast [stance:1] Battle Shout; [stance:2] Defensive Stance; [stance:3] Berserker Rage

Battle Stance (1) → Casts Battle Shout
Defensive Stance (2) → Casts Defensive Stance
Berserker Stance (3) → Casts Berserker Rage

Shift into a Stance if Not Already in It

This macro will switch to Defensive Stance if you're not in it, otherwise, it will use Shield Block.

/cast [nostance:2] Defensive Stance; Shield Block

If not in Defensive Stance (2) → Switches to it.

Combining Stances with Modifiers

You can mix stance conditionals with modifiers.

/cast [mod:shift, stance:1] Charge; [mod:shift, stance:3] Intercept; Hamstring

Shift + Battle Stance → Uses Charge
Shift + Berserker Stance → Uses Intercept
Otherwise → Uses Hamstring

Final Notes
[stance] and [form] are interchangeable.
Stance numbers can change in expansions where stances are removed or altered.
Check your class mechanics to ensure the correct stance numbers for your spec/version of WoW
